    - Hacker trying to logon... Some is trying to logon onto my server and some how they have obtained the user list. The security log doesn't give me any IP address information (only workstation name & the failed account name). First how do I block logon access for IPs other than the local spoofed subnet (10.0.0.x) and secondly how did dthey get the list? Tag: removing firewalls Tag: 27167

    - Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026 When will the hotfix for this patch be in production and downloadable? I support a lot of tiny LANs that characteristically have a single NT4 server and most have RRAS installed. Installing the new security patch hoses that, so the hotfix from PSS is required. I'd rather do one round of installs. Are we talking a couple of days or a few weeks? Tag: removing firewalls Tag: 27164

    - Question about implimentation of AES A partner of ours is encoding text in AES via Microsoft's CAPICOM, while we are doing the same via C#. Interesting thing is CAPICOM seems to handle the seed (i.e. the initialization vector) within the component, and we are generating our own IV. Is there a way for us to get both of our seeds to match while still using these implimentations or are we pretty much confined to both of us using CAPICOM, or doing it the same way in C#? I find it very odd that we can't control the IV in Capicom, but we can in .NET. This would make them pretty much incompatible with each other although it seems like they should be able to work together. Any thoughts? Tag: removing firewalls Tag: 27152

    - INTERNET MISTAKES TO AVOID A. Some Internet Service Provider?s like MSN reveal your sign-up full name when you try to send out requests to List Serves, Mailing Lists and E-mail. This reveals to the world what your real name is. Anyone who so desires can find out your Internet habits - even co-workers. B. There are plenty of Websites that track and take hold of your name which can then cause them to send snail mail (US Mail) with unsolicited garbage. Remember, there are sites which list every e-mail address you have associated yourself with on the Internet. C. An employer you have applied to for employment can go on the Internet and search for your real name and see what your Internet habits. They can also attain personal information that you would like to keep private. D. Let?s say you posted to a Medical Website pertaining to a medical condition you have. As a new employer prospect they can find out what your condition is. Again, this is personal and private information. E. This is one mistake I?ve never made and never will. Some employers ask their employees to go online using their personal e-mail address to download software drivers and patches, etc. This is a Big No-No! Again, refer back to #1. By using a company computer, your e-mail address will be available and visible to your employer. And they could chose to track your Internet habits which is personal information. These words are not spoken lightly. F. God forbid you ever anger a person on the Internet, then your nightmares are just beginning. It isn?t going to matter which Egroups, Newsgroup, List Serve or Mailing List that you make a comment to. If people have a mean streak they will take revenge against you. G. It?s not a bright idea when filling out any form on the Internet to include your real name, city and state you reside in, except when making an actual purchase. In fact, there are times you might want to setup any new account using the opposite gender. H. This one is a humdinger, if you are truly one of them egotistical types. Say that you post from work; well guess what? Your work IP address is now present for all to see. I?ve had people tell me they were e-mailing me from their place of employment, but not to respond back to their e-mail address. Now your in deep if you anger anyone on the Internet. Your in for some trouble now when letters start appearing at your work place, to your bosses office or unwanted phone calls start coming in. I. Many people have a desire to read their daily horoscopes. For your own protection and security, when setting up an account to get your horoscope, type in a birthday a few days before or after your true birthday. This way, if your computer is compromised, the hackers won?t know your "true birthday". The less you provide to the hackers the better off you are in securing your personal information. A minute of your time now is less expensive then a big bottle of aspirin later. Tracker Beefs Fiancee' I know how important it is for me not to define myself by how others perceive me.

    - HACKERS SECRET WEAPONS Copyright 2003 by Debbie Xl. All rights Reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form or by any means, or stored in a data base or retrieval system, without prior written permission of the publisher. A. Hackers disable your Daylight Savings Time. B. The clock on the desktop can be one hour ahead or one hour behind, on occasion. C. Your Network Places Icon on the desktop disappears. D. If using a Windows platform: when you start your computer, your original screen will pop up, but since the hackers need to boot into their Networks, or Server(s), the system will quickly re-boot and the original screen will appear twice. But your system may re-boot twice instead of once when loading Windows OEM versions. E. If your computer system occasionally re-boots on it?s own, the hacker may need to update their Networks, or Servers to make their computer system function properly. F. If you play Yahoo Games, you may find yourself being kicked out of the board your playing in. If your winning a game and you?re the host, the hacker may not let you back in to finish. This means you just lost a game at the hackers expense. When the computer was hacker safe, I went back to playing games and haven?t been booted out of a game, since. G. A browser application like Netscape, or Internet Explorer you use to filter out, or kill file certain individuals will not function indefinitely. When your computer system is compromised, you aren?t able to filter out people in your browser for more then 1-2 days. A number of computer owners whose systems have been compromised, have advised me they also had the same problem. Because hackers were using your illegally installed Servers for posting to the Internet, this is why you are unable to filter or kill file them. This information was very apparent to myself and other ferret owners whose computer were compromised. H. When you begin to see Usenet remarks, made on behalf of your personal life which is private information. I. Some of your personal files are modified years before they were created. I have seen a number of personal files modified 7-8 years before they were even created. How to accomplish this maneuver: Select Start, Settings, Control Panel, Date/Time, where the year is, Select the up or down arrow and, viola. Then open up any file and Select Save. A new creation date is present. J. You will find a number of files hidden/readable only, which is a common practice in the hacking world. K. When you find additional information in your boot.ini file which relate to a Virtual Private Network, this can be either software, hardware or device driver oriented. L. Under Search for Files and Folders, perform a search on any file modified in the past month, you will see files which just don?t need to be modified, or files you don?t even recognize. For the basic computer user, you?ll want to focus on the files which you don?t recognize. Unless your a skilled professional, you won?t realize which files need to be present or modified, but give it a try anyways. [To perform the above you will need to see all Hidden Files and Folders.] M. Select Start, Settings, Control Panel and Network, and look at, following network components showing. If you see one AOL adapter and have never used AOL, then two AOL adapters, two TCP/IP, two Dial-Up adapters, one or two Virtual Private Network adapters, your computer could be compromised. A Virtual Private Network is widely used by hackers because it can host up to 254 users. "This applies to the basic Internet user who has one modem, one ISP and isn?t running any FTP, HTTP, NNTP, PROXY, SMTP, SOCKS, SQL, or SQUID SERVER." My skills working with VPNs is almost zero. Every victims system I?ve seen had two VPNs setup and they were only using a modem to connect to the Internet. N. Next, Select Start, Run, type Regedit, Select Registry, Select Export Registry File, in the box type a name say 4-12-02.txt and Select save. Then open this file with a text editor, and you might be shocked to find what really is installed on your computer system. Check the bottom of this file because hackers love to install an array of applications including Network/Server files and device drivers. O. You will have to turn your computer off by the power supply on a regular basis. P. Installing a Network Interface Card will cause problems until the hackers configure this device into their Servers or Virtual Private Network they setup on your computer. Q. You find your CD-ROM drive opens and closes without your permission. R. You could hear an annoying beep coming from your system speakers. S. Your windows screen goes horizontal or vertical. T. The screen saver picture changes without your permission. U. On occasion your mouse is out of your control or has an imagination of it?s own. But this could also be caused by a corrupt mouse driver. V. All of a sudden, your speakers decide to play you some music. W. Installing a hardware/software firewall for the first time can cause a number of different problems for you to setup and configure. Considering you didn?t have these installed from the beginning of your computer going on the Internet. X. Your firewall logs show alerts at 12:00 then 11:22 then 12:16 and back to 11:59. Y. If using a dial-up/cable/dsl connection you see a number of pings, port 0, to your computer. The reason is so that the hackers can see if your computer is online. A system needs to be online for the hackers to access these Networks and Servers. What the hackers actually do is port scan your Internet Service Provider Block of IP addresses and find your computer either with file sharing enabled or a Backdoor/Trojan present. Z. If someone is port scanning your system, in your firewall logs the port assignment aren?t in any type of order. You might see a probe at port 1,10,9,8,6,12,6,43 etc. AA. When you find you have to set Zone Alarm firewall on medium instead of high settings. BB. Once you can view all Files and Folders search for files named spool*.*. CC. You may find another installed version of your software firewall application on your hard drive. You will need to Show all Hidden Files and Folders under your Settings, Control Panel, Folder Option and View, if using a Windows Platform (excluding 2000,NT and XP). DD. When you see too many, Pings - port 0, HTTP/Proxy - port 80, 8080, 3128, SMTP - port 25, FTP - port 21, NNTP - port 119 port probes. Your computer is probably running an illegal "VPN server"; "web server"; "proxy"; "mail and news"; "ftp"; which hackers are attempting to access for their own personal use. EE. If you don?t see your computer node/source IP address on a consistent basis to the right side of your firewall log, your system is compromised. (See the firewall logs below.) The hackers are entering through your system to attack other "Networks, or Servers and Systems", so their identity can?t be traced. FF. When you perform a traceroute on an IP address and you lose your node/source IP address, ISP routers IP, or when you don?t see your node/source IP address at all.

    - Keyboard just types"I love you" A friend from a couple of states away called me and told me about a keyboard problem she had. No matter what keys she typed, even the backspace and spacebar, All that would be on the screen would be "I love you..." over and over. After we had a laugh she told me it seemed pretty serious. I had her shut off the computer for a few minutes, use the control alt delete to see if any programs were running, I had her check the add/remove programs to see if anything was added recently , then Start/programs/startup. All to no avail. The only thing we came up with is a "One touch multimedia keyboard" program. I know they have issues with spyware, but I didn't think this could be it, or could it?

    - VBScript for server security monitoring? Hi all- First of all, sorry for the multiple cross-posts; I tried to pick out germane groups to post to, so sorry-in-advance if it's not appropriate. Anway, getting down to business: As one of three AD administrators for a campus of more than 50000 users, I'm a little strapped for time. However, one of the major things that needs paying attention to is security on servers -- especially domain controllers (the recent RPC exploit madness just reiterated that fact). What I'm wondering is what tools have other network admins [yes, you!] have used -- via VBScript and WMI -- to automate the process of security auditing. Ideally, I would have a vbscript that fires off once every fifteen minutes, looks for weirdness (ie, >400 failed log in attempts from the same workstation or for the same username) in the the logs of a list of computers, then output the results to a file, and, if weirdness was found, email a short text message to my phone. Is this even possible?!?!

    - Downloading "Updates" from MS Hello - 1st of all, what a bunch of hassle just to try to send an email or whatever to MS to get some kind of simple answer. Anyway, all I want to know is how I can find out if the Updates I periodically have downloaded over the years have actually "installed" or not? The reason I ask is because I came across a folder full of ZIPPED files and I'm not sure if they had been UNzipped or not (they are the files from MS UPDATE). I just read that each downloaded file from MS Update must be UNzipped manually. Is this correct? And is there a way to find out what DL files installed and any that did not?

I am sometimes being forced to visit certain sites, regardless of what link/favorite I am clicking on. And once I put in a particular URL and I get forced to other site, I can no longer go back to that URL ever. ie . I type in www.micro.com but get forced to www.dutch-sex.com. Now every time I try and go to micro.com(regardless if its from typing in URL,clicking a favortie, or clicking a link from another page) I always get forced to dutch-sex.com I have loaded update and problem still exists. Any ideas on what I can do? I know a fair amount about computers, but wouldn't call myself a techie by any stretch of the imagination. any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Is it somebody out there to tell me what to do to not participate to that blackmail. Thank you, Percy Tag: removing firewalls Tag: 26975

    - XP Registry I have just got an XP box to play with. One of the first things I did notice, is that I can't see the registry remotely from my W2K box. I then noticed I couldn't see the event logs either. Why is this? How can I setup the XP box to see these remotely? The remote registry service is running, and my account is in the local admins group on the XP box. Tag: removing firewalls Tag: 26960

    - IUSR lockout All, I tried to repeat a problem I was able to get to work before, but I am not having any luck. I thought I was able to create a DOS on a web server by locking out the IUSR account at one point. However, when I lock it out now, I can't seem to get it to cause a DOS. The links and everything else seems to behave normally even after locking out that account. Any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong? FYI, to do this, I created a test directory, and a user named test. For the test directory, I allowed only the test user, administrators, and system to have access to that folder. IIS was set to Integrated Auth, and Allow Anon access. I thought I was able to demonstrate this problem before, but for some reason I can't get it to work now. Thoughts? Thanks, Pair Tag: removing firewalls Tag: 26931

    - MSN Messenger A friend's hotmail acount was hacked by someone. Microsoft Security would not help her out because they could not positively identify my friend as the owner of the account. So I hope to find a solution here. The problem now is that the hacker is posing as my friend initiating "cyber sex" with all those on her list. I myself just ran into the hacker on msn messenger yesterday. My friend has no access to her hotmail account whatsoever. What I want to know is whether it is possible to check for the other person's IP address through Messenger. If so then how would I do it. I really want to nail the S.O.B.

    - What are these registry entries? While looking through the startup files, I found these two entries in the registry that have me wondering what they could be. I used a program called Pest Patrol to view both the startup files and the running processes of the PC, to obtain this information that I've provided. HKLM\software\CLASSES\htafile\shell\open\command (MSHTA.EXE "%1"%*) HKey_CLASSES_ROOT\htafile\shell\open\command (MSHTA.EXE "%1"%*) Paths for the two are C:\windows\system\mshta.exe Both possess an MD5 "signature" of {95e7e4913891bd12ff9a58c60ea8d143} What the heck are they? Would any of these be an issue for concern?

What OS? If XP have you enabled the built in firewall?

"Don't lose sight of security. Security is a state of being, not a
state of budget. He with the most firewalls still does not win.
Put down that honeypot and keep up to date on your patches. Demand
better security from vendors and hold them responsible. Use what
you have, and make sure you know how to use it properly and
effectively."
